A free AI key in about 2 minutes.
Homeray works with free AI and no key. Want stronger answers? Add a free Gemini key: no credit card, and it covers everyday use. Here is how to get one.
HomerayExampleThree steps.
On your phone or computer, open aistudio.google.com/apikey and sign in with your Google account.
Tap Create API key. If it asks for a project, pick the one it suggests. Copy the key.
Open Homeray and paste the key when the setup asks for it. You can change it later in Settings.
Free, no card
Google gives free Gemini keys with daily limits that cover everyday use. You do not add a credit card.
Keep it secret
Your key is like a password. Paste it only into Homeray, and never send it to anyone, including me.
Limit reached?
Free keys have a daily limit. If you hit it, the phone AI answers until the limit resets.
Good to know.
I cannot see a Create API key button.
Make sure you are signed in with a personal Google account, and that you are 18 or older, which Google requires. School and some work accounts have it switched off by their admin.
It says Gemini is not available in my country.
Google offers the Gemini API in most countries, but not all. It is not offered in mainland China, and neither is Google Play, so Homeray cannot be set up there for now. Travelling there? Download the phone AI before you go, and it answers offline.
It says I reached a limit.
That is the free daily limit. It resets the next day. Until then the phone AI answers, or you can add a paid key.
Does Google use my chats?
On the free tier, Google may use what you send to improve its products, and Homeray tells you this before you start. A paid key keeps your chats out of that.
Is it safe to paste my key into Homeray?
Yes. It stays in your phone's secure storage and goes only to Google when you ask something. There is no Homeray server. If a key ever leaks, delete it in AI Studio and make a new one.
Try it on your phone.
Ask for your early access spot. It is free, and Android comes first.
